I'm still a beginner so I don't know If it's any help, and I haven't even started working with file I/O.

But my guess would be that you need a class that holds string, xpos and ypos data. So you can create an array of objects that all contain a snippet of text and can be looped through to alter their position on the canvas.

Also the class would need a method to draw the text on it's position. This can be done with the text() function.

I'm still to "newb" to give a coded example, so I hope this helps.
